Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You're so blinded by hate you're ready to attack anyone that disagrees with you, to the point of making up assumptions to have something to argue about.

Literally every sentence of your first comment was an attack on my character and made assumptions about my beliefs. The fucking audacity. I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.

Literally all i did was respond to someone overly optimistic with a probably very realistic prediction of what will happen. To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.

You mean the one where you did nothing but complain about what people are doing, saying it's not enough, while offering 0 alternatives? Yeah you sound like a complainer that wants someone else to solve their problem. You didn't seem interested in putting any effort into trying to solve the problem, just attacking others for the way they are trying.

I didn't attack you character, I called it out for what it was.

You just want to bitch and attack people because you don't think they're doing enough. You don't think people will save you, then wtf are you doing huh? You demand that people act and others won't save you, what are you doing aside from waiting to be saved? Bitching at other others for not fighting the way you think they should?

Then I called out that that is a defeatist mindset and your response was that you know the future and are just trying to tell people what will and won't work, because you're the one who knows the truth.

Yeah I called out your character, you presented yourself as a negative defeatist who thinks they know the future. You complain how other people fight as not being the right way while doing nothing yourself. All based on anger and ego. Ego you still hold onto.

I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.

Well that one way to avoid all the contradictions and local fallacies.

Literally all i did was respond to someone overly optimistic with a probably very realistic prediction of what will happen. To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.

You're whole stance is based on you thinking you know the future. It's wild that you can't see that.

"Probably a realistic prediction" lol, it might be a realistic guess of the future, maybe. Jfc man, if that's good enough reason for you to roll over, so be it. I guess you can just keep waiting for someone to save you while you bitch online.

To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.

I never said this. You keep bringing this up, I didn't say you could. You're making up a problem and arguing about it.

I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.
